    I get a random pattern clicking coming through the headset. Kind of like a mouse click when going over a button in a program or browser. Sometimes it clicks fast (multiple in a few seconds) then slow (one click every 20 secs). The Pattern may be like (gaps in secs between clicks) 1-4-30-1-1-1-4-40-40-3-4-1-1-10-24-1-5-13... etc etc. Then it may not do it for a while (Then again, I do not wear the headset all the time). This I think started after I installed a Firefox addon that records web video. I have since Deleted and replaced that program with "FVD Suite". Periodically I get a error message that says "Hwatch can't be found". And the clicking is still happening. It is irritating but is not recorded in the recorded video's I get, (CSI NCIS etc).
    As in read posts here, My computer is not near phones or other electronic devices beside a printer.

    Thank You for your expertise and help.

    p.s. Files attached (no ROOTREPEAL as I have a 64 bit syst) and ask Q's and I'll hope I can give answers that'll help.

    I am not finding any malware in your logs. I suggest you pursue this in the software forum.

    Since you are not having any malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.We recommend them for doing backup scans when you suspect a malware infection.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.


    3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:


    Malware removal from a National Chain = $149
    Malware removal from MajorGeeks = $0

    Thank You for your time and knowledge.

    So far no clicking since I ran these cleaning programs. We'll see if I need Software help. But again THANKS.
